What should be considered when deciding between postsecondary schools?
In addition to the typical college characteristics, such as location, size, program offerings, and competitive nature, students with disabilities need to be aware of the kinds of supports institutions offer. Institutions vary widely in the types of supports they offer, and how often. Two-year institutions tend to offer more services than four-year institutions, and public schools tend to offer more services than private schools. Because of these differences, it is important to find out about what kinds of services specific schools provide when considering where to enroll.
